Hi!

I'd like to add two thoughts to our ongoing discussion of our pets' being in heaven with us--
One, a portion of a poem by pastor/theologian John Piper
and the other a cartoon I love!

What joy our little ones will have! I believe with all my heart that we will have them with us! (Thank You, Lord!)

Glorified

By John Piper December 22, 1985

And as I knelt beside the brook
To drink eternal life, I took
A glance across the golden grass,
And saw my dog, old Blackie, fast
As she could come. She leaped the stream-
Almost-and what a happy gleam
Was in her eye.
I knelt to drink,
And knew that I was on the brink
Of endless joy. And everywhere
I turned I saw a wonder there.

O God of wonder, God of might,
Grant us some elevated sight,
Of endless days. And let us see
The joy of what is yet to be.
And may your future make us free,
And guard us by the hope that we,
Within the light of candle three,
Your glory will forever see.
